School is going to be out soon. I was in the process of compiling our Summer fun list when I realized that some of you might be compiling fun summer things too! Let me know what you have planned, locally or abroad. And while you’re thinking about that, feast your eyes on this domestic treat as I have assembled a packing list for you and your family!

One Plastic Laundry Bag per person. Put a dryer sheet in each bag. You’ll thank me at the end of the week when your dirty laundry is following you around. (If you have little ones, remember small bags for diaper disposal, as well.)

Add a separate bag for wet stuff (swim wear or otherwise). Keep in mind, a mesh bag will allow wet things to breathe.

This moves us along to ITINERARIES- two copies. Make sure to take one copy with (on your person/in your carryon) and leave a copy behind with a trusted family member or friend. This is especially important when flying. Include phone numbers of your destinations and your flight numbers on the itineraries. Make sure your confirmation numbers are recorded here. ALSO include the hours of operation and phone numbers for attractions.

Obviously we are talking about domestic summer travel. If you need to forgo the swim wear and pack the parka, then by all means make this list your own.

Don’t forget your favorite FURRY family members! Make sure Fluffy and Fido have their summer reservations. If pets are traveling with you, pack their items as well (kennel, leash, water and food dishes, bottled water and food, litter box, special bed/blanket/towel).

Tell me fellow travelers, did I omit anything essential? What items can you not live without on a trip?

About Me

People often wonder what I actually DO as a professional organizer. I don’t come into your home and kick you out for 2 days while I reorder and repaint and redecorate everything in your home so that it is entirely new and non-functioning for you. I do work with you to help you find what strategies work for you. These strategies will enable you to: find your keys in the morning; find that file you know you had just yesterday; give you a place for everything; help you recognize the beauty in your space and your beauty within. We have fun along the way while we establish order to your chaos. In a nut shell, that’s what I do. Please feel free to contact me to find out more about what I can DO for you.
